I dont mean to sound like a smug twat (well, perhaps I do)
but I have found that not watching shite telly and/or reading tabloid newspapers, is an excellent way to avoid mediocrity and keep the blood pressure down.

There is so much talent out there, you just have to look for it.

True

However it would be nice to not have to look soo hard sometimes, I'd like to flick on my crap analogue radio in my car and not have to listen to wall to wall pop/r&b on radio 1 etc. Yes I could listen to Xfm, but only in london and they still play Scouting for Girls for god's sake!

I've found Radio 5 makes me a bit less angry
except when they're asking simpletons to phone in to demonstrate how stupid they are. I don't *think* that's what they actually ask people to do but it might as well be.

You could get a cd player/mp3 dock/portable mariachi band?

I find this approach works pretty well for me too
I don't listen to the radio, I don't read the tabloids, I don't know which celeb is fat/thin/having it off with another celeb... and I'm happy and junk.

Look, I'll prove it...
